I too was blown away by the weakness of tracking directly into my Digi002r.

I think I mentioned in a seperate thread, that the diff between tracking thru my Digi002 & tracking thru my analog board was so dramatic, i thought something was wrong with my Digi002.
I mean it wasn't just mild or subtle, it was incredible.

I realize the whole unbalanced-balanced / -10/+4 issue, but still, the results I get are pretty sad if i go MPC3000 ---> Digi002r.

So my solution is to continue & track thru my analog board.
Which isn't that bad for me, but, it's pain in the ass if i am just laying down a quick beat cd or demo.

Mr. Belmont, as far as DI's go, know any 8 ch versions worth there salt?

Or heck... I may just build my own.
I have a homebrew Neve project which is long overdue anyhow, might as well build a few DI's while i am at it.

If anyones into DIY, Jensen has some schematics available.
